Planned works

  • New kerb, gutter and road surface
  • Upgraded stormwater drainage systems
  • Improved cul-de-sac drainage with environmental compliance
  • Replacement of approved vehicle crossings with new standard concrete driveways
  • New signage and road markings
  • Replacement tree planting

Driveway Upgrades

Residents with gravel crossings can upgrade to concrete at their cost during construction.

Tree management

Council prioritises preserving high-value street trees where possible. Some removal may be required due to major root encroachment or poor tree condition.

Trees that may be removed due to major root encroachment:

  • Adjacent to 125 Springdale Road – Liquidambar (Liquidambar styraciflua)
  • Outside 8 Monash Avenue - Camellia (Camellia sasanqua)
  • Outside 10 Monash Avenue - Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla)
  • Outside 12 Monash Avenue - Crab Apple (Malus x floribunda)
  • Outside 12 Monash Ave - Broad-leaved Scribbly Gum (Eucalyptus haemastoma)
  • Road verge south of 5 Monash Ave - Red Bloodwood (Corymbia gummifera)
  • Outside 5 Monash Ave - Jacaranda (Jacaranda mimosifolia)
  • Outside 5 Monash Ave - Sour Gum (Nyssa sylvatica)

Trees that may be removed due to poor condition:

  • Outside 8 Monash Ave - Forest Oak (Allocasuarina torulosa)

Replacement trees will be planted to maintain our urban canopy.

Timeline

We aim to finalise the project design by mid-2026. Construction will then commence subject to environmental approvals, budget availability and Council’s mandatory procurement process.
